2) It's still entirely possible to build a good 1850 point GK list for at least half the $$ of a good necron army. Don't forget that people have plenty of marine vehicles laying around they can just repaint.

Strangely enough around here, we have quite a few people that have been playing for years on end and no one throws away anything. It's a Japanese thing I think, I mean I drive a 1989 subaru that's practically as good as new with how often it's rebuilt.

Most of these folks already had the old necrons and were able to just revive their models and pick up a few barges/arks to get a new list going.

Same here. Maybe an asian thing?

You know I think it probably is just a whole Asia thing.

Psyback > Rhino is a formula that is largely accepted. But Rhinos have their place in a GK army and the pros and cons were discussed here and there. For me, the Rhinos are quite useful as they protect my precious Strike or Purifier squad and the unit inside can fire two psycannons. Therefore, I'd go for a mix of Psybacks and Rhinos.

thats nonsense! psycannons are one of the best weapons in the game, so you spam as many of them as possible and automatically win, right?
